Getting Here and Getting Around

Nestled along Highway 170, where the road curves to embrace the Rio Grande, Lajitas Golf Resort is located just 17 miles southwest of the junction of Highways 118/170 at Terlingua, Texas. Tucked between the rugged beauty of Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park, our resort offers an unparalleled retreat in one of the most serene corners of Texas.

To give you a sense of our remote charm, we're approximately 200 miles from the nearest Walmart in Fort Stockton and 95 miles from the closest McDonald's or stoplight in Alpine. This seclusion is part of what makes Lajitas so special—no traffic, no city lights—just peaceful surroundings, tranquility, and some of the best stargazing you'll find anywhere.

While a vehicle is not essential for staying at the resort, since our housing is conveniently located near resort amenities, having a car is recommended for trips to Presidio (55 miles southwest) or Alpine (95 miles north) for major shopping or outings.

At Lajitas, the isolation is a part of the experience, offering a rare opportunity to disconnect and immerse yourself in nature's beauty.
